I started my love for Mcars back in mid 80s, starting with an E30 M3 and then another one, two M5s and then I back after a few years with a M4. I don't remember anyone claiming a 325Is was an alternative to an E30 M3. You could not pose one for an M3. But, now I see many claim an M340 or else is an alternative. But are they not just posing - you cannot guild a lilly, so all the other 3 or 4 series that are not M cars are just 3 and 4 series - nice, albeit, bland! |
